You Belong To Me
Jo Stafford & Paul Weston and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too, and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too, and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when it's wet with rain
But remember darling, till you're home again
You belong to me
The song "You Belong To Me" by Jo Stafford was written in 1952 by Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart, and Chilton Price. It has since become a classic and an iconic love song. The lyrics describe a long-distance relationship where the singer asks their lover to remember that they belong to each other no matter how far apart they are.
The song takes the listener on a journey around the world as the singer describes different places like the pyramids along the Nile, a tropic isle, and the marketplace in old Algiers. These descriptions are colorful and vivid, adding depth to the song's message. The singer asks their lover to send them photographs and souvenirs from these places, but also reminds them that no matter where they go or what they do, they still belong to each other.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the strength of their connection, as the singer emphasizes that they will feel lonely without their lover and assumes that their lover will feel the same. This emphasizes the idea of a true and deep connection that can overcome distance and time.
